the one time I rode on the Silver Comet was from Rockmart to Dallas and back which is a good ways awy from Atlanta. There was virtually no traffic but we did get buzzed by a group of roadies in full team gitup. I suspect they were training for some race. It was no problem as they passed us from the front both times but I would hate to have ment them on some of the sharper blind curves. Of course they may have slowed down for those but where we met both times was on fairly straight areas. I did notice that all the other bikes we met were friendly but these guys were all buisness. I was on a bent and several wanted to check it out.
